Hello there, Happy new year to y'all.


My name is Alex, and I'm a content writer and self-publisher.


I have been trying to create time for this kind of thread, but I've been busy with other engagements.

Which is why I want to quickly start this year.

So we can all achieve something..

It would be,

A platform where experts writers can share their experiences concerning how a newbie writer can scale up and become an expert technical writer.


Different school of thought have argued that writers are born, while others said writers are trained.


Left to me, even though I'd a passion for writing, most of the things I know today about technical writing and other forms of writing were acquired.

This is why I'm willing to teach anyone willing to learn how to write, and how to earn from their writing skills.


Anyone can learn to write technically. Even if you hate writing and have no writing skills.

Jump on this thread and learn something cool about writing..



However, most of the things that will be covered here especially from me will be mostly daily exercises that will help your writing dreams..


So if you are lazy about things .. This is not for you.


Because you may have to check in every day to do the daily exercise..


The pinnacle of human achievement is for those who are determined and often swing into action whenever they learn something new..


Know this, The beauty of every knowledge is in it's application.


So if you ever want to become an expert writer then you must be ready to write daily.

It doesn't matter how many words you write..


Just write.







That said.. Shall we begin?



P.S. Expert in the house, I'm not above corrections.. So if there's anything that's off.. Pls call my attention to it..

Writing Hacks



Virtually everything we do is the result of our habits. You are a bundle of habits. ​
​
​
​
​
​
The way you walk, talk, think, act, and deal with the important things of life is largely habitual.​
​
​
​
​
​
​
​
​
​
Habits can be either stepping stones or roadblocks to success or failure, happiness or unhappiness. ​
​
​
​
​
​
​
​
​
​
​
​
Since your thinking and behavior are subjects to the same principles, your habits will make or break you. ​ Dennis P. Kimbro.​
​
​
​
​
​
​
​
​
​
NOW, to cultivate good habits, you've to filter the kind of information, actions, and gestures you imbibe from your daily activities.​
​
​
​
​
​
​
​
​
​
​
How can you do this, check the type of friends you keep.​
​
​
​
​
​
​
​
Your friend can be a person or a thing.​
​
​
​
​
​
​
​
​
​
​
​
Your friend could be that negative slang or wording you use frequently.​
​
​
​
​
​
​
​
Your friend is the genre of music you love listening to, well the genre of music won't be a thing of concern if only you take notice of the contents of the song and the meaning it carries. The videos of the song you watch. ​
​
​
​
​
​
​
​
​
Is it all about drugs, romance, and gambling?​
​
​
​
​
​
​
​
​
Your friend can also be the books you read, the mentors you listen to.​
​
​
​
​
​
Bad habits could be lack of time management (watching movies late in the night), spending a lot of time on social media watching skits "when you are not a skit maker"​
​
​
​
​
​
​
​
​
It could be a lack of sense of direction" Commenting I'm interested in all the online business blueprint you come across"​
​
​
​
​
​
​
​
​
​
It could be having difficulty in taking action "not having a strong WHY"that will back up your desire to learn a course or start a business. ​
​
​
​
​
​
​
​
​
​
All the aforementioned have a great influence on your habits.​
​
​
​
​
​
​
​
​
​
And your habits will influence your lifestyle.​
​
​
​
​
​
​
​
​
​
Your lifestyle will tell on your goals and dreams.​
​
​
​
​
​
​
​
Look into your friends and correcting your negative habitual behavior will be easy.​
​
​
​
​
​
​
So how does this relate to writing...​
​
​
​
​
​
​
Well, let's see...​
​
​
​
​
​
​
​
EXERCISE​
​
Think about the habitual behaviors in your life.​
​
Now think deep, and search your thoughts to find one peculiar habit of yours.​
​
​
Then write for 15 mins on your chosen habit.​
​
Don't forget to keep it simple in such a way that anyone can understand.​
​
No need for showing your literary prowess yet, ​
​
Keep it simple but make it relatable.​
​
​
​
​
​
​
*P.S*. Also, For your situation to change, you MUST change. Since all change is met with resistance - you're in for a struggle.​
​
​
​
​
​
​
​
Now that we've got that out of the way, you know that for you to win 2022, you're in for a fight. Yet, persist you must.​
​
​
​
​
​
​
​
​
Make a list of all the habits that you think are holding you down. I did this myself and came up with 12 negative habits.​
​
​
​
​
​
​
​
What matters is that you're radically and brutally honest with yourself while writing down these negative habits.​
​
​
​
​
​
Once it's on paper, you'll know what needs to be changed. Then it's just a matter of fixing ONE bad habit at a time.​
​
​
​
​
​
�EXERCISE�​
​
​
Measure your progress as you engage your bad habits. Write about them, how it has been affecting your life and business, and how you were able to overcome them. ​
​
​
​
​
​
​
​
Then post about them on your social media page. I'm sure people would love to learn one or two things from you. You can even go-ahead to create an ebook from it to either give it away or sell. ​
​
​
​
​
​
​
You can have a title like *7 steps to overcome bad habits and take control of your life* just an example, not saying it's perfect. ​
​
​
​
​
​
​
​
Till I write to you again. ​
​
​
​
​
Stay Blessed, and have a good night​
